E-leaning: Before the boy cott

The main reason why I enjoy this source so much is because it has a e-learning segment called the “Before the Boycott”. In this “game” the students travel back in time and play the role of a school newspaper reporter assigned to ride the Montgomery, Alabama bus system in 1955. The students will learn what it was like to ride the bus as an African American during that period in history.
